The fourth woman at work ladies networking event was held at The Boma Barnyard Theatre in Alberton.  The theme for the evening was Diamonds & Pearls and everyone wore white.  It looked magnificent from up there, like a gathering of angels…

There is just this amazing energy when having such a big group of women come together for such a lovely evening, almost like a sisterhood vibe which no man may ever understand (not even a gay one).   I’ve heard a wise saying:’ A man shouldn’t try to understand a woman, he only needs to love her with all his heart’ 

The chosen charity for the evening was St Mary’s Childrens home.  They are based in Rosettenville and look after kids who have no parents or family.  Their aim is to place these kids with a foster family who will love and support them, and raise them to be motivated individuals.

The Boma is known for its Barnyard theatre where many great singers and entertainers like Coenie de Villiers, Laurika Rauch and Barry Hilton have been entertaining guests for more than 6 years.  The Boma also has their own fully licensed reastaurant with buffet lunches on Sundays.  Both the Boma in Alberton and Boksburg have lovely wedding chapels and wedding facilities.  They also have a big conferencing hall so this makes The Boma the ideal wedding and conferencing venue.

Renate Landman was the guest speaker for the evening.  She is a trained Dr. Demartini facilitator trained by no one other than Dr John Demartini himself.  Her company is called The Learning Curve and what they basically teach is ways to improve your life based on science.  Basically for every negative action there is a positive action. Let me explain..  For instance if you have been in a car accident and is now paralysed from the waist up (negative event)  Now your kids need to learn to become more independent in organising lifts and so on.  You realize how many people care for you from the big support group you suddenly have.  You may start doing something youv’e always wanted to do like start piano lessons as you have realized how short life is and how important it is to live life to the fullest.  And so the positive and negative events create a balance.  See your life like this and you will become much more content and live a balanced life.

Included in last night’s woman@work event was the show Diamonds and Pearls – a tribute to Neil Diamond and Celine Dion hosted by The Boma Alberton.  I was so jealous of every person in that band…  All of them has got such amazing voices and instrumental talent.  It made me decide to go for proper vocal training.

The cast, musicians and singers of Diamonds and Pearl soon had all the ladies on their feet singing and dancing.  The way I see it is – any person who has the vocal ability to sing Celine Dion’s hits and make it sound good is a great artist.  I’ve never seen a pregnant lady singing and rocking like that.  Truly amazing I tell you.  Her little one will probably want to be a rockstar

Did you know that Celine Dion has had a show running in Las Vegas for five consecutive years and the tickets has been sold out for each and every performance?!  Now that’s what I call making a success of yourself!  It has been said that Celine Dion is the one artist who akes sure each and every note coming out of her mouth is pure perfection…

To the cast of Diamonds and Pearls you brought a true tribute to Neil Diamond and Celine Dion to the stage last night and for that I congratulate you.  I enjoyed your show so much that I’ll be bringing my father to see it

Toni and Tanya, once again congratulations on a very successful, fun and entertaining event!  I wish you all the best for the future!! 

PS- Good luck with the big move of Sinzinani Day Spa to Thaba Ya Batswana, I know you’ll make a great success of it!
